Director: James Parrott Edit Storyline With Stan in drag, the boys get jobs as a butler and maid for a dinner party at the Vandevere's. After that ends in disaster, they're reduced to sweeping streets, and accidentally capture a bank robber.

The grateful bank president sends them to Oxford for a proper education. There they become victims of student pranks, getting lost in the Maze and taking over the Dean's quarters as their own. But then a knock on the head gets Stan to believing he's the famed Lord Paddington, scholar and athlete extraordinaire. Suddenly erudite and supercilious, he retains Oliver as his valet, "Fatty."

Trivia Anita Garvin 's final film with Laurel & Hardy. She came out of retirement as a favor to Stan Laurel , playing basically the same role she had played in Laurel & Hardy's silent film From Soup to Nuts (1928), whose title is a line of Ollie's dialogue in this movie.

See more » Quotes Traditional and famously used in the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" Sung a cappella by Oxford students with modified lyrics (United States) – See all my reviews In 1940, Laurel and Hardy made their last two movies for Hal Roach, A Chump At Oxford and Saps At Sea. Oxford is the better film, but both are entertaining. In any case, this was the last time the pair had any creative input regarding their own films. (At MGM and Fox, they were handed a script and told to do it "the studio way.") A Chump At Oxford is really two movies in one. The opening shot shows Stan and Ollie hitchhiking to an employment agency. The only job that's open requires a maid and butler team, so for the second time in his career (the first was in Another Fine Mess), Stan plays Agnes the maid. What follows is a partial re-make of another short, From Soup to Nuts (in fact, as dinner is about to be served, Ollie announces, "We've got everything from soup to nuts.") Stan once again serves the salad undressed, but he is also drunk, having taken Mr.

Vanderveer's (Jimmy Finlayson) instruction to "Take all those cocktails" a bit too literally. He chases them out of the house with a shotgun, shooting a policeman in the derriere along the way. In the next scene, Ollie and Stan are sweeping streets. Ollie, usually the eternal optimist, is more depressed here than in any L & H film. "Well, here we are, right back down in the gutter. We're just as good as other people, but we don't advance ourselves. We never get anywhere." They decide to attend night school, but their fortunes change sooner than they expect. Like W.C. Fields in The Bank Dick, they (quite accidentally) capture a couple of bank robbers. As Ollie explains that they have no education, the bank manager rewards them with the finest education money can buy, at Oxford University. Arriving in England, our friends are preyed upon by a dreary crowd of students, among them old nemesis Charley Hall and a very young Peter Cushing. They play childish pranks on the boys, getting them lost for hours in a weird-looking maze, and dressing up like a ghost to scare them to death.

Soon after they arrive, Stan makes it very clear that he is out of his element. Johnson (Peter Cushing): Haven't you come to the wrong college? You're dressed for Eton (the famous British prep school). Stan: Why, that's swell, we haven't eaten since breakfast, have we Ollie? The worst prank of all is when Johnson disguises himself as the dean and directs them to the real dean's rooms, telling them that these are their quarters. When the dean (Wilfred Lucas) returns and the students are caught, he tells them they will all be expelled. They vow to take revenge against Stan and Ollie. Shown to their proper quarters, the boys meet their valet Meredith (Forrester Harvey). He refers to Stan as Your Lordship, stating that before a window came down on his head and he wandered away, he was the greatest athlete and scholar in the history of Oxford, and "oh, what a brilliant mind." When Ollie hears this, he bursts into laughter.

"Why I've known him for years and he's the dumbest guy I ever met." Meanwhile the expelled students are heading for their lodgings singing a bizarre "chant of revenge." As Stan looks out the window, it crashes down on his head, and he becomes Lord Paddington. As the students enter his room, His Lordship fights them all, throwing them all out the window (in a rather cruel weight joke, he throws Ollie out, too, and he makes a huge crater in the ground when he lands.) A certificate on the wall informs us that Lord Paddington has been reestablished as the leading scholar/athlete at the University. He speaks like a cultured English gentleman, and Ollie is now his valet. (This is not too hard to understand when you consider that Stan was the creative genius of the team, writing many of the gags we see in the films.) Ollie is now a humiliated figure, and no other actor can use camera looks to express humiliation like Oliver Hardy. At one point, the dean comes in to tell Paddington that Professor Einstein has arrived from America and is a bit confused about his theory. Could he straighten him out?

Ollie is incredibly shocked, muttering under his breath, "If it wasn't for that bump on the head, he wouldn't know Einstein from a beer stein." But he's helpless to do anything about it. 7 of 9 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

In the feature film 'A Chump at Oxford' (1940), as a reward for thwarting a bank robbery, Stan (Stan Laurel) and Ollie (Oliver Hardy) are given the money to study at Oxford. After a blow on the head, Stan believes he is the long-lost Lord Paddington, a brilliant athlete and scholar, and Ollie has to suffer the indignity of serving as his sidekick's lackey. In the collection of shorts entitled 'Someone's Ailing', 'County Hospital' sees Ollie's broken leg offering him a chance to rest, which he does until Stan pays him a visit. 'Them Thar Hills' sees Ollie suffering from gout, prompting a trip into the mountains, while its sequel 'Tit for Tat' shows what happens after their return. In 'Perfect Day' Stan and Ollie organise a family picnic. Finally, in the feature film 'Way Out West' (1937), Stan and Ollie bungle the delivery of a goldmine deed to Mary Roberts (Rosina Lawrence). Duped by the saloon owner into giving the deed away, the comedy duo set about restoring it to its rightful owner.

[Finn does a double take] Laurel And Hardy: Way Out West/Big Business DVD by Stan Laurel: Amazon.co.uk: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Sharon Lynn, James Finlayson, Rosina Lawrence, James W. Horne: DVD & Blu-ray By Dr. Paul Hanley on 22 Feb. 2002 Format: DVD "Way Out West" is today considered to be the best feature film Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy made together, and upon viewing it is easy to understand why!

The jokes (of which there are many, conveniently worked into the Western setting of the main storyline) come in all shapes, sizes and forms including slapstick (which the duo had perfected in the many silent movies they made before switching to "talkies" in 1929), word play and even elements of surrealism, more commonly associated with the films of Laurel and Hardy's contemporaries The Marx Brothers. After it's initial theatrical release in 1937 the film fell into neglect but was (thankfully) fully restored in the mid-1980's. The quality of the restored monochrome print, featured on this DVD, is quite simply supurb (taking into consideration the age of the movie). Unfortunately the "colorised" version of the film (also featured), whilst interesting to watch, just isn't in the same league as the black and white. The colours, although natural looking, appear pale with character movement producing a disconcerting blur effect, and the constant "jumping" of the images within the frame make for difficult viewing. The mono soundtrack, used for both versions, is acceptable.

Snaps, crackles and pops are to be expected but in no way do they "drown out" the dialogue and music. The final feature of this DVD is a similarily restored black and white print of the duo's 1929 silent short "Big Business" complete with Wurlitzer organ accompanyment! Quality is again supurb and it's a pity VVL didn't include other short films at the expense of the poor quality colour presentation of the main feature.

In 1910 he made his first trip to America as a member of the Fred Karno musical-comedy troupe, which also included Charlie Chaplin. Laurel stayed in the United States, touring in vaudeville and landing an occasional movie job.</p> <p>Oliver Hardy had been destined for a military career, but opened a movie theater in Milledgeville, Georgia, instead. He next found work as an actor in Jacksonville, Florida, home of the Lubin film company.

Hardy later moved to Hollywood, and by the mid 1920s, he was working as an all-purpose comic at the Hal Roach studio.</p> <p> <br> Laurel and Hardy's partnership at the Hal Roach studio began in 1926. Within a year of their first joint appearance, they were being touted as the new comedy team. After collaborating on many silent films, they took the transition to the talking film in stride. As their success spread throughout the world, they began making feature films as well and won an Oscar for their short subject entitled &quot;The Music Box&quot; (1932).After the team left the Hal Roach studio, they formed their own production company but were unable to repeat the success they had enjoyed under the guidance of Hal Roach.</p> <p><br> <strong>Filmography:</strong></p> <p><strong>Laurel &amp; Hardy Feature Films</strong></p> <p>As the economics of motion picture exhibition changed in the 1930s, Hal Roach needed to produce feature-length vehicles for Laurel &amp; Hardy.

After SAPS AT SEA (1940) Laurel &amp; Hardy left the Hal Roach Studios and signed with major studios 20th Century-Fox and MGM. From 1941-1945 they made eight feature films - six for Fox and two for MGM.

Happily, their voices matched their screen personalities. And sound effects greatly aided their talking films. So did the wonderful, peppy, period background music. The Boys were then able to punctuate their physical and visual comedy with catch phrases long familiar to fans who smile when they hear variants of such lines as these:</p> <p>&ldquo;I'm Mr. Hardy, and this is my friend, Mr.

The term “Laurel and Hardy memorabilia” includes autographs, costume items and film props. Background Comedy duo Stan Laurel And Oliver Hardy were one of the most critically acclaimed American comedy double acts during the classical Hollywood era. Their distinctive brand of comedy might be understood as slapstick. Their most famous works include the feature films Night Owls (1930), Way out West (1937), Sons of the Desert (1933), A Chump at Oxford (1940), Pardon us (1931) and One Good Turn (1931). Originally shot in black and white, many of their silent films from the late 1920s and 1930s have been rereleased in colour, while later films were originally released in Technicolor. Laurel and Hardy are known for their distinctive onscreen appearances as well as their slapstick comedy antics. Stan Laurel is the more slender of the pair, who generally sported a bowler hat and bow tie, while Oliver Hardy is portly, moustachioed and wears a necktie.

Collectibles Laurel and Hardy collectibles include autographs and autographed photographs, framed pictures, figurines, original film scripts, porcelain dolls, movie banners, original film posters and ticket stubs, Laurel and Hardy promotional items such as cigarette lighters and advertising ephemera, Laurel and Hardy screen worn costumes, letters, documents, rare footage, awards, photographic negatives, pottery items, etc. Collecting information Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are known for having signed numerous autographs and the pair almost always replied in person to fan mail, making genuine Laurel and Hardy signatures more easily obtainable than the autographs of more reticent stars from the same period. Stan Laurel signed cheques are a collecting area in their own right - much harder to come by are Oliver Hardy signed cheques. There are thought to be only 5 Oliver Hardy signed cheques in existence. Laurel and Hardy's enduring popularity makes them a highly collectible prospect. While high grade items, such as the pair's personal effects and screen-worn attire, may be out of reach of the average collector, purchasing pottery and porcelain items, autographs, and film posters could be a good way of beginning a collection.

Budding collectors are advised to always buy the best they can afford from reputable dealers. The major markets for Laurel and Hardy collectibles are in the UK and the US. The largest collection of Laurel and Hardy memorabilia in the world can be found in Ulverston in Cumbria - Stan's home town in the UK. Bill Cubin's collection, now in the possession of his daughter Marion, is exhibited in a museum dedicated to the pair. A large extension opened in 1992 gives you ample room to browse. There is also a small cinema showing free films and documentaries all day. Counterfeit autographs Stan Laurel did not sign autographs in ballpoint pen - genuine Stan Laurel autographs are fountain-pen signed. Ollie often signed autographs in ballpoint pen. Stan would always sign over on "his" side of the photo, and Ollie on "his". Because of the advance in computer copying and printing it is getting harder and harder to distinguish what is authentic from what is computer-generated. Again, be doubly suspicious of anything in frames. If you can handle an autograph page, you will find the impression of the signatures, or ink-marks, on the reverse side.

If the autograph is in a frame, ask the dealer to remove the back. If he's reluctant, walk away. A good initial approach is to ask the vendor the history behind the piece. Most have a story behind them, like "I got it off a woman who's mother was an usherette at the Glasgow Empire, and she used to get the autographs of all the stars." Another way to continue the enquiry is to ask what other autographs were in the book. Tell them you're interested in Will Hay, or Terry-Thomas, or Peter Sellers. Anything to get them to produce evidence of the original autograph book. The Laurel & Hardy magazine is a useful resource for fans and collectors.

Love Laurel & Hardy! Keep in mind that the humor of way back then was a lot different that it is now - so some of these old L & H movies can be somewhat simple minded & draggy in places - however - it's really worth just overlooking those parts because the funny parts (in most of these) are truly funny & entertaining. Each one is great in it's own unique way. Enjoy!!! 84 Pins55 Followers
